Abstract
This chapter presents a brief history of Canadian immigration policy. Like US immigration policy, Canadian immigration policy has shifted from openness at the start of the nineteenth century to a rigid ethnic quota system in the early twentieth century, and now back to a more open policy regime. The current immigration policy in Canada differs from US policy in one important way: Canadian policy is more selective but admits many more immigrants on a per capita basis than does US policy. The chapter provides possible answers to the seven questions posed in the introduction to this section for each of the distinct immigration policy regimes.
